Thirty three years have past since North Carolina Central University broadened their scope and opened their doors to students seeking a degree in Business Administration and Management. The School of Business was officially established on July 1, 1972. That day marked the end of one era as the Department of Business and Economics under the Undergraduate School of Arts and Sciences (1) and began a new, completely separate entity that would grow into the fully functioning Department that it is today.
